It has a 700Mhz Crusoe processor, 512mb of (upgradable) RAM, and a 512mb (rather slow) SSD drive. I have Grub installed on the internal drive, along with a custom initramfs which boots the system off a USB drive (the BIOS doesn’t support booting from USB)! Best of all the machine uses about 10W and is silent!

The exponential function is the fastest growing function as oppossed to the logarithm, which is, I believe, the slowest ;)

I love being able to login (via ssh) to my home server when I need some UNIX-style networking tools, or when I want to check how something shows up outside our proxy server. Very handy.

but its also very handy for remote troubleshooting, or for example when my father, a pc newbie, wants a new program installed.

I’m using a miniITX mobo with an Intel Atom 230 processor so the power usage should be low enough to be able to leave it on all the time.
